Just the parts of SQL you need to know—from simple data retrieval to the use of SQL joins, subqueries, stored procedures, cursors, triggers, and table constraints.

Designed for anyone interacting with databases, this SQL book methodically, systematically, and simply teaches you in lessons that each take 10 minutes or less to complete.

Lessons include:

  • SQL statements, including complex SQL statements using multiple clauses and operators.
  • Data management: Retrieve, sort, and format database contents, including inserting, updating, and deleting.
  • Data analytics: Pinpoint the data you need using a variety of filtering techniques and aggregate functions to summarize data.
  • Tables: Create, alter, and join database tables.
  • Views.
  • Stored procedures.

Expert trainer and popular author Ben Forta created this book for most of us who just need to learn SQL and do not need to understand database design, normalization, or administrative concerns.

Each lesson includes:

  • Full-color code examples to help you understand how SQL statements are structured.
  • Tips that point out shortcuts and solutions.
  • Cautions to help you avoid common pitfalls.
  • Notes that explain additional concepts and provide more information.
